This is the same year and model made famous by Kurt Cobain in Nirvana's groundbreaking and incredible \"MTV Unplugged In New York\" performance. This single family owned D-18E came us to out of Kalispell, MT and although it shows some signs of finish and play wear, it is fully functional and plays remarkably well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nut measures 1.716\" wide.
